Gen. Brcckini'idge and Governor Harris, Of
Tennessee, rode to their front and promised
to lead them himself. Tho hitherto reluctant
soldiers, now reused to enthusiasm by such u
distinguished leadership, charged and carried
the slope. But it was at u terrible cost to- tho
Confederatcs. After he had passed through
the ordeal of the charge unhurt, a chance,
shot struck Gen. Johnston in the leg, sever
ing an important artery. His clothes were
pierced by missiles, the sole of his boot had
been torn by u bullet AMI his horse shot in
four places, but he himself did not know that
he had received a severe wound until Cover

rear. The brigade Of Col Marsh, which in

and Forty eighth Illinois, was subjected to
one Of the hottest ons'arghts Of the day. In
five minutes nearly ali of thc field officers
were killed or wounded, together with all tho

With varying success until late in the after

Bitter Milk from Weeds.

The presence of weeds, and especial
ly rag weed, in pastures is one reason
why many cows give poor milk and
butter during and after midsummer.
While the weather is hot and the poor
animal is tormented by flies she eats
hastily and greedily, not taking care
to select the more delicate grass and
reject that which is coarse and Offen-
sive which she does earlier and later
i'm the season. The most the COW aims
to do is TO fill herelf rapidly with grass
and weeds. and then lie down in the
shade where flies will be less trouble
some. 1t is difficult to make first-class
butter in midsummer, ard impossible
unless the pastures are free from weeds
aud the water good. Cows in their
haste to fill up in hot weather viii even
eat many weeds with grass whose bit
ter taste would at any other time cause
them TO reject it. Many Western far
mers went to late into the dairy bust
ness. They were long comparatively
free from weeds; but by the time grain
growing became Improbable, their
fields were as weedy as those of East
ern farmers American CultiyatOr.

Dry Pasture.

There are but few pastures that will
carry herd of cows through the sum-
mer and keep up the flow of milk with
out feeding them at the barn. There
are portions of the season in New
England when the sun is so hot and
the winds are so dry that a large pOr-
ton of the pastures become parched
and fail to produce sufficient young
grass to supply the wants of as many
cows as are usually assigned to pas
ture; on this account. unless the farm
er makes some provision to feed his
cows at the pasture night and morning,
the flow of milk will be very much
reduced, and the cows will lose in flesh,
thus they come to the barn in the
autumn light in weight, with the flow
of milk reduced at least One-third be-
low what it should be. To avoid this
the farmers who are abreast of the
times will be prepared to feed their
cows as soon as the feed in their pas
lures begins to fall off, Mirror and
Farmer.
